TechnipFMC was awarded a FEED contract by BP for the FPSO unit for the Tortue/Ahmeyim Field Development offshore Mauritania and Senegal along the maritime border between the two countries. The agreement between the two companies provides a mechanism to allow a transition of the contract to an EPCI contract at a later stage.
TechnipFMC will work on defining the technology and equipment scope and brings its expertise in delivering major projects, leveraging extensive experience with Chinese fabrication.
Nello Uccelletti, President of TechnipFMC’s Onshore/Offshore business, commented, “We are very honored to be awarded this contract in West Africa which further demonstrates our leading position in offshore gas monetization. We look forward to collaborating with BP to unlock the full potential of this important project.”
The initial subsea infrastructure connects the first four wells consolidated through production pipelines leading to a FPSO vessel. From here liquids are removed and the export gas is transported via a pipeline to a FLNG hub terminal where the gas produced will be liquefied.
The Tortue/Ahmeyim Field Development is located in the C-8 block off the shore of Mauritania and the Saint-Louis Profond block offshore Senegal. The Tortue discovery was made by Kosmos Energy, which farmed down its investment to BP in December 2016.
